Is There a New Type of Breast "Implant" Available?

I read a while ago in a paper that surgeons in australia were/had developed a new type of implant using a degradable mesh and gel that is placed in the breast and increases growth around the implant which then "dissolves" leaving the wearer with larger breasts with no actual implant. is this true and where can i find info. the procedure is similar to that where an ear shape was grown on a mouse' back.
